WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists are expanding the genetic code of life, using artificial DNA to create semi-synthetic bacteria — and now they've found the altered bugs can produce proteins unlike those found in nature. It's a step toward designer drug development. All life is made up of four DNA building blocks known by the letters A, T, C and G. A team at The Scripps Research Institute has created two artificial DNA "letters" called X and Y. Adding them to E. coli bacteria created an organism that can store extra genetic information.

It’s been five years since Marcel Everett has put out an album under the moniker XXYYXX. This is a sad fact for fans of the electronic artist, who — before he had even turned 18 — was at the very front of a new sort of chopped-and-screwed music that bent toward the darker edges of electronic production. Now 22 years old, Everett’s got nothing but time to put out that next record, and while fans wait, there are still a couple of things to be grateful for. For one... Читать дальше...

DETROIT (AP) — A former Eastern Michigan University student accused of painting racist graffiti on campus says the charge makes no sense because he is African-American. Eddie Curlin questions why he would have written anti-black messages, telling The Detroit News that he's being made a scapegoat. The graffiti was found painted on exterior building walls in September and October 2016. A racist message also was found in a men's restroom last spring.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Senate candidate Mike Braun's campaign says it fired a former staffer who is also affiliated with the white nationalist movement. The Republican's campaign says Caleb C. Shumaker briefly collected ballot signatures for the candidate. But once Braun became aware of Shumaker's white nationalist ties, it ended his contract.

Matt Lauer has definitely exhibited some lewd behavior on the set of the “Today” show at least once before — for an on-air skit, that is.

The sketch in question was from “Today: The Musical!” a bit starring the hosts in which Lauer happens to drop his pants in front of some of his... Читать дальше...

© 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Judging by her by now voluminous work with arthouse treasure Hong Sang-soo and her outrageous turn in last year’s “The Handmaiden,” Kim Min-hee might be the best actress working in South Korea.

In Hong’s latest leisurely character study “On the Beach at Night Alone,” she is Young-hee, a noted actress who is trying to pick up the pieces after the end of an affair with a film director.

The “Today” show suddenly finds itself in a spot unfamiliar to viewers since 1996: with no Matt Lauer anchoring the NBC News morning program. Lauer, who has co-hosted “Today” since Jan. 6, 1997, was fired Wednesday following a “detailed complaint” from a colleague about “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” Where he leaves the long-running program kind of depends on what you value. Year-to-date, “Today” is down double digits among total viewers, with a 10 percent decline in overall audience members, per Nielsen. Читать дальше...
